Pretty much. It’s not something most of my circle of casual gamers know about. Even the hardcore gamers don’t watch live and usually catch a recording of something specific.

Homie had face blindness weve been celebrating the wrong moral of the story
During the first year (Jesus I can’t believe I’m saying this), my colleagues in Ukraine thanked us for the work we had and disappeared. I saw him post in a gaming blog comment about Elden Ring dlc so I think he’s alive.
Most of the world wants to be left alone.
Lemmy: why aren’t people using Linux? It’s so easy
Also Lemmy: webp huh?
Lemmy folk forgetting that not every person cares enough to switch OSes.
If you ever work tech support even at a basic level, you’ll see. It’s not even boomers or genZ. I helped a grown ass human who was my age at 40yo how to install a Firefox extension.
That could have been me a few years ago. I was still using teamviewer up until 2020 to connect to my desktop from my laptop. It’s so handy.
Fortunately it was when I started learning about open-source solutions
I love disco Elysium
Whenever I see those “All the companies that use us” banner, I shrug.
If I was a scammer, why wouldn’t I include a dozen companies?
Felt like when I was job hunting around 2019, 80% of job applications I filled out didn’t even feel real. No reply back. Weird hoops to jump. Submit a resume then fill it out again.
I am pro privacy and hiding your shit because as a engineer, my goal is to do cool shit. Cool shit like seeing what diseases your poop has.
Then some fucktard sees that data and uses it for evil.
Any woman tracking her period is getting Handmaid’s Tale and it’s bullshit, all because engineers want to do cool shit.
After the first 100, the other 300 kinda don’t matter.
spanked one 100 times
One 100 times or 1 time, but 100 times?
I keep hearing like they didn’t really do shit. When Uber did a fuckton.
1 - Reputation. If a taxi driver was a racist POS, literally nothing I can do.
2 - Agreed upon fare. You literally see a estimate of the cost. I had a taxi add extra fees the moment I sat in the car.
3 - GPS. The route on your phone is the same route they follow. How many times have taxis went on a fucking joyride to rank up more money?
4 - See when the ride is coming. “Cab will be there in 15-45 mins.” Never fucking shows up.
5 - Automatic payment. How many fucking CC machines didn’t work so they forced you to pay cash?
I can go on and on.
But to say some tech bro slapped some tech jargon onto taxis and became rich is disingenuous to all the innovations they’ve done to unfuck the taxi industry.
Wait what?
Your culture doesn’t tip taxi drivers?
I constantly felt like if I didn’t tip the taxi driver, he’d drive in reverse and tell me to fuck off. Because yes they were that kind of asshole.
90% of Uber drivers for me were immigrants. Its normal to me.
My great grandmother only budgeted her retirement to live until 90. When she turned 91, she fixed her will to leave less. She’s turning 98 soon and constantly is afraid she’ll run completely out of money. She jokes that she’ll end her life any day now to avoid having us deal with her debt.
It’s absolutely horrifying thinking like that.
Whores and coke.
I’m a brown dude. I have so many stories about bad taxi experiences. From Taxi drivers refusing to pick me up, to them going, “You’re lucky to be in my car”, to “I’m not driving there. Get out.”
Around 2017 and was very upset at Uber, I took a taxi from the airport. The guy refused to drive until we had more people in the car. I said this wasn’t a car share, and he told me to go take a bus. When I started getting a Uber, he apologized and took me, but then bitched about it the whole drive that he was losing money.
Uber and Lyft changed it all.
Cleaner cars. No attitudes. Agreed upon destination and fair.
I have no sympathy for taxis.
Ewww Arab numbers in MY FREEDOM LANGUAGE?!
I dunno. Steam did it well enough. I was buying cheap games for years. I could get a kick ass GOTY game for like $5 while GameStop was still selling it used on consoles for $20.
